Tide fans need to relax

Here we are about 30 days from a new NCAA football season and I'm reading Sound Off and these Alabama fans haven't gotten over Auburn being champs yet. I have one thing to say to them: Take a laxative and get over it.

Auburn can't repeat

To the caller that said polls are ridiculous, that Alabama was rated last year and Auburn was way down, and it is going to be like last year: Just because you did that last year, doesn't mean it is going to repeat. You must be delusional.

A rhetorical question, right?

To the Alabama fan that said if Auburn didn't have all the luck, they wouldn't have won those games: Well if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his butt every time he jumped would he?

Football sections are coming

I just called to see when y'all are going to put the prep football schedule, and the college and NFL schedule in the paper. Just let me get a date, thank you and have a blessed day. Editor's note: The Press-Register's annual preseason high school special section will be released on Aug. 21, while the college section follows on Aug. 28.

Auburn gets more from less

Year in and year out Alabama gets the best recruits, so they are ranked No. 1 and should finish in the top three every year. They should, but they don't. Last year, Alabama was ranked one but finished 11th, Auburn was 23rd and finished a national champ after overcoming a 24-point deficit at Alabama, beating South Carolina soundly in the SEC championship and beating Oregon. Alabama has been overrated many times in the past with all those No. 1 classes. However, Auburn gets more out of their players with a better offensive scheme. Auburn has the best recruiting/game-day coaching in the nation, hands down. Even I could take Alabama's talent and go 12-2 or better every year.

Tide fans the worst

I'm not an Alabama fan. I'm not an Auburn fan. But Alabama fans are the most obnoxious, uptight fans I've ever seen. I'd pull for Auburn any day over Alabama, but I don't like either one.

Saints to win Super Bowl

This is your preseason pigskin prognosticator here. I got a little fun I want to share with the NFL here. This year, the NFC will be led by New Orleans, Green Bay, Philadelphia, with the eventual champ being New Orleans. In the AFC, you got Kansas City, New England and Pittsburgh, with Kansas City winning the AFC championship. That puts the Chiefs against New Orleans in the Super Bowl, with New Orleans winning 31-20. Go Saints.

Deion Sanders a joke

Prime Time has to be the biggest injustice as a selectee to the Hall of Fame of all time. Great cover corner, but he shied away from contact. A big show-off who could run fast and run his mouth even faster. Ask true Hall of Famers Jim Brown, Dick Butkus and Ronnie Lott what they think of him as a true football player?

Great Scott! It would be fitting

This would be very fitting if Adam Scott wins this tournament today. Stevie Williams, who was let go by Tiger Woods, goes over to caddie for Adam Scott. Now, it looks like he is going win the Bridgestone Invitational. Wouldn't that be very fitting?

Hunter until the end

Let me get this straight. This guy has been killing game all his life, and now wants to continue shooting animals by having his ashes loaded into a shotgun shell. I say, just have him reincarnated as a nice gobbler or eight-point buck, and have him enjoy hunting from the other end of the gun barrel.

Enjoyed MIS racing

What racing at Mobile International Speedway, a Rick Crawford performance track. Thrills, chills and spills. Bounties lost cars and those motorcycles. Job well done guys, best racing seen in a long time. We have Rick Crawford to thank for that. Job well done.
